Answer:

A.
4x(2x^2+3).

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
8x^3+12x. We are asked to factor our given expression.

We can see that both terms of our given expression share a common factor that is 4x.

Upon factoring out 4x from our given expression, we will get:


4x(2x^2+3)

Therefore, the factored form of our given expression would be
4x(2x^2+3) and option A is he correct choice.
